Southeast Kansas Multi-County Health Departments will get a new home soon. DeeDee Martin, administrator, said she was excited about moving to 411 N. Washington Ave., next to the Iola Fire Department.
The new location will provide more exam rooms and parking, as well as handicap accessibility for clients. Martin said she was most looking forward to having the ability to serve clients without having to work around the stairs at the old location in the 200 block of South Jefferson Avenue.
The move means a short interruption of services.
“We will probably be down about four days,” Martin said. “We anticipate moving the second or third week of July, when construction is complete.”
Martin said she will keep up-to-date information online to let clients know exactly when the move will take place and what days the office will be closed. The department’s website is www.sekmchd.com and its Facebook page is www.facebook.com/sekmchd/
